Birth of Thamnophis eques cuitzeoensis this morning.

Good news when I walked into my snake room this morning. My 3 year old female gave birth to 4 young. No still born. They maybe more as she still looks plump. I offered the babies food this afternoon and to fed straight away. :)Good result and i am glad I waited for a suitable age to breed as all seem healthy. Four days earlier than i predicted. Two of the young have the females temper. :lol2:

Thanks for all the comments. :) no more this morning so I think that's it. The females a big girl and still looks in good shape after giving birth. Definitley the biggest garter I have kept. Though I did see one of Steven bols lake chapla garters in Hamm last year that was even bigger!

She does not like she has lost much weight, but surely that's it as its been over 24 hours.
